If the Mets head into next season with Bobby Parnell in their plans for the starting rotation, I'm becoming either a Phillies or Yankees fan. I can't take it anymore...I just can't. Parnell is garbage!

As if the 2009 season couldn't get any worse for the Metropolitans, Pedro Martinez had to go and embarrass them on national television last night. While Tim Redding (who I can't stand) pitched his ass off for the Mets, their anemic offense couldn't help him out. The Phillies' famously potent lineup was held to just one run...

the heated battle for the starting second base job.)

2-Philadelphia Phillies: 1B-Ryan Howard, 2B-Chase Utley, 3B-Pedro Feliz, SS-Jimmy Rollins, and C-Carlos Ruiz.

It's hard to envision an infield that can outrank one including Howard, Utley, and Rollins. All three stand tall in the top five at their respective positions, and collectively they're especially dangerous with the lumber.

ineup card seems to resemble a wrecking crew, including megastars like the media’s golden boy Chase Utley, Texas’s blue-collar puma Lance Berkman, and the South’s true Southern man, Chipper Jones. While Jones approaches the .400 barrier set by Ted Williams in 1941, Utley chases Davey Johnson’s second baseman single season home run record and Lance Berkman pursues his elusive first MVP award. They’re the faces of the National League and will anchor the league’s attempt to end the rut that has driven the American League supremacy that is often over dwelled on numerous baseball analysis outlets.

Over in the National League, Lance Berkman, Chase Utley, Chipper Jones and Hanley Ramirez set the pace at their respective positions. On the surface, this would appear to be a banner year for the casual voting fan. But ein minuten bitte!  Miscasts still linger in this 2008 All-star pool. Allow me to dissect and explain three glaring cases:

up is a monster for the Nation League with three superstars, Ryan Howard (105 homers last 2 years), Chase Utley (would have won the MVP if not for injury last season) and Jimmy “J-Rol” Rollins (who won the MVP last year).  With Pat Burrell and Geoff Jenkins also in the mix this team should hit a lot of homers.  Shane Victorino is a big time spark at the top of the line-up.  He can bunt his way on, sacrifice people over and steal bases when needed.  The big question mark, as you will see it is with the big three is, can they find a third starter.  Brett Myers and Cole Hamels will be great but after those two the rotation looks like this, Kyle Kendrick (who you only know because he got pranked by Myers and the rest of the team a few weeks back, this was the funniest prank I have ever seen by the way), Jamie Moyer and Adam Eaton.  Their bullpen is solid, though they need Brad Lidge to come back and be half of what he once was.  If Kendrick can step his game up and Lidge can stay healthy and be effective this team should win the division.
